    1. @SilentJay74 Wow my favorite movie referenced, good point dude. It is truly just like that. By the way one of the funniest scenes in the movie.

  3. But who will now beam up Kirk?

    Seriously though, its a shame, SpaceX needs to get their ass in gear. 3 launches, 3 failures. At least it wasn't all of James Doohan's ashes.
